Lyrics and translation George Jones - Billy B. Bad

Billy B. Bad

(Bobby Braddock)

Down in Texas near the DFW
Among the shrubs and patios and barbecues
Was born a suburban boy named Billy B Bad
Had a white bread momma and a rock and roll dad
Didn't have much soul or country roots
But he sure looked cute in his cowboy suit

B-B-B-B-Billy, Billy B Bad B-B-B-B-Billy, Billy B Bad
B-B-B-B-Billy, Billy B Bad B-B-B-B-Billy, Billy B Bad
B-B-B-B-Billy, Billy B Bad B-B-B-B-Billy, Billy B Bad
He can spot a trend and he knows a pad
He's a country singer named Billy B Bad.

--- Instrumental ---

He sounds like everybody on the radio
He's building up his biceps for the video
The people at the label said we like to start 'em young
We know you're twenty three but we'll say you're twenty one
They played him some Strait they played him some Jones
Now he's got that country music way down in his bones.

B-B-B-B-Billy, Billy B Bad B-B-B-B-Billy, Billy B Bad
B-B-B-B-Billy, Billy B Bad B-B-B-B-Billy, Billy B Bad
B-B-B-B-Billy, Billy B Bad B-B-B-B-Billy, Billy B Bad
Watch out for your daughters he's gonna drive 'em mad
The country sex symbol called Billy B Bad.

--- Instrumental ---

Now poor ol' Billy's at the end of the line
He's over the hill cause he's pushing twenty nine
He's not as young and he's not as handsome
He just tested positive for brandson
He'll never be that hot again
Look for his music in the oldies bin

B-B-B-B-Billy, Billy B Bad B-B-B-B-Billy, Billy B Bad
B-B-B-B-Billy, Billy B Bad B-B-B-B-Billy, Billy B Bad
B-B-B-B-Billy, Billy B Bad B-B-B-B-Billy, Billy B Bad
What a great career he had
Say goodbye to Billy B Bad...

Billy B. Bad

(Bobby Braddock)

Au Texas, près de DFW
Parmi les buissons, les patios et les barbecues
Est né un garçon de banlieue nommé Billy B Bad
Il avait une mère au pain blanc et un père rock and roll
Il n'avait pas beaucoup d'âme ou de racines country
Mais il était vraiment mignon dans son costume de cow-boy

B-B-B-B-Billy, Billy B Bad B-B-B-B-Billy, Billy B Bad
B-B-B-B-Billy, Billy B Bad B-B-B-B-Billy, Billy B Bad
B-B-B-B-Billy, Billy B Bad B-B-B-B-Billy, Billy B Bad
Il peut repérer une tendance et il connaît un logement
C'est un chanteur country appelé Billy B Bad.

--- Instrumental ---

Il ressemble à tout le monde à la radio
Il développe ses biceps pour la vidéo
Les gens du label ont dit que nous aimons les démarrer jeunes
On sait que tu as 23 ans mais on dira que tu en as 21
Ils lui ont fait écouter du Strait, ils lui ont fait écouter du Jones
Maintenant, il a cette musique country dans les os.

B-B-B-B-Billy, Billy B Bad B-B-B-B-Billy, Billy B Bad
B-B-B-B-Billy, Billy B Bad B-B-B-B-Billy, Billy B Bad
B-B-B-B-Billy, Billy B Bad B-B-B-B-Billy, Billy B Bad
Faites attention à vos filles, il va les rendre folles
Le sex-symbol country appelé Billy B Bad.

--- Instrumental ---

Maintenant, le pauvre Billy est au bout du rouleau
Il est au sommet de la colline parce qu'il a 29 ans
Il n'est plus aussi jeune et il n'est plus aussi beau
Il vient d'être testé positif pour la marque
Il ne sera jamais plus aussi chaud
Cherchez sa musique dans la poubelle des anciens

B-B-B-B-Billy, Billy B Bad B-B-B-B-Billy, Billy B Bad
B-B-B-B-Billy, Billy B Bad B-B-B-B-Billy, Billy B Bad
B-B-B-B-Billy, Billy B Bad B-B-B-B-Billy, Billy B Bad
Quelle belle carrière il a eue
Dis au revoir à Billy B Bad...
